  2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at your hips until your torso is almost parallel to the floor. Keep your back straight and your core engaged.
  3. Pull the barbell up to your lower chest, keeping your elbows close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  4. Lower the barbell back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
